Saskatchewan has announced that the province’s minimum wage will increase to $15.35 per hour on October 1, 2025.
The adjustment follows the province’s indexation formula, which gives equal consideration to changes in both the Consumer Price Index and the Average Hourly Wage in Saskatchewan.
Deputy Premier and Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Jim Reiter said the change supports the government’s broader affordability goals. “By raising the minimum wage, we are continuing to support workers and deliver on our commitment to affordability,” Reiter stated.
The 2025 wage hike follows a series of planned increases initiated in 2022. At that time, the government committed to raising the minimum wage from $11.81 to $15.00 by 2024, an increase of 27 percent. With that target met, the province has returned to its standard indexation formula for future adjustments.
Across Canada, minimum wages vary. British Columbia has the highest minimum wage among provinces at $17.85 per hour. Ontario will raise its minimum wage to $17.60 on October 1. Saskatchewan’s new rate will place it above Alberta but below several other provinces and territories.
The federal minimum wage is $17.75 per hour.
